Do you remember the good old days in the 90s when dance music was mainly about Euro-Techno, Rave, Hardcore & Progressive House.

 

Here are most of the singles I have from those great days at the Love Parade. Lots of them were bought on import because of the shameful way the UK record companies didn't give them a UK release.

Ahh the 90s - best era of dance music :wub: Much better than the majority of 'dance' music hitting the charts these days: old songs ermixed or even just sped up a bit :rolleyes:

 

Was too young to appreciate dance music in the 90s but am doing so now :D

 

My favs include: Snap!, Culture Beat, Baby D, 2 Unlimited, The Original, Sash, Livin' Joy :wub:

 

Those times of dance tracks with an ugly guy rapping and some hot chick singing the chorus.

:puke2:

In all fairness, the vast majorty of those tracks were actually rubbish. For a golden era in dance music, you could've done a lot better.

To be honest, I did love many of those songs back in the day and I still enjoy some of them from time to time. But I also think this board has way too much reminiscing… everyone claims the golden age of dance was back in the 90’s. But some say it was early 90’s rave music, some say mid 90’s Eurodance, some say late 90’s trance… either way I agree that the dance music on the charts has been pretty bad lately (though I’ve liked several), but I think the stuff in the clubs these days is great. Some of my all time fav dance tunes have been released to clubs in the last 3 years.

 

I just think too many people base their judgment of dance (and all music, really) on sentimentality. Can anyone really argue that “legends†like 2 unlimited or Culture Beat are actually any better than much-loathed Cascada?

 

the thing about 2 Unlimited and Culture Beat is that they didnt base their careers on covers ;)

:love: FELIX - Don't You Want Me

Can anyone really argue that “legends†like 2 unlimited or Culture Beat are actually any better than much-loathed Cascada?

 

I would never defend garbage like Culture Beat or 2 Unlimited.... But listen to stuff like The Shamen, The KLF, Orbital, The Orb or Future Sound of London mate.... There is NOBODY who is making music in the current Dance scene that even comes close to matching these guys.. Nobody....

 

the thing about 2 Unlimited and Culture Beat is that they didnt base their careers on covers ;)

 

Very true. As a counterpoint, I wanted to ask here "is an album of covers really all that much better than an album of 10 songs that sound nearly identical?" But of course, Cascada did both!

 

I think they had varying tunes. Tribal Dance and No One are for example very different. Plus they had #1 albums, how many dance acts do that nowadays?

Oh I've heard them and I love them. Orbital and The Shamen, in particular, are probably my two fav pre-'90 dance acts. But those days were so different, raves were like incubators for a totally new genre of music... styles from around the globe were being experimented with in a totally organic way. Like we talked about on your countdown thread, KLF's disgust at suddenly becoming "popular" is sort of like Cobain's suicide over the popularization of the grunge movement.

 

So can dance ever again be like it was back then?

No because dance is gonna continue to be popular. Its a far too big genre with loads of subgenres to go unnoticed like it was in the 80s.

I think they had varying tunes. Tribal Dance and No One are for example very different. Plus they had #1 albums, how many dance acts do that nowadays?

 

Well, No One was kind of unlike any of their other songs. That whole third album was pretty different, except "The Real Thing." The albums did have a bit of variety, but if you listen to Hits Unlimited and you hear their top 12 hits in a row, it really sounds like nearly the same song over and over...

Well that's the majority of dance acts for you, hardly an exception.

If you watch footage of KLF and The Shamen - they still sound great (yeah maybe with a hint of naffness) but listen to 2 Unlimited now and it's stomach turning! They were truly effing dire!

Edited February 8, 200718 yr by ScottyEm

well, I did many Love Parades in Berlin in the 90s... and 90% of those records you list were never ever played there.... 2 Unlimited?!?!?! Culture Beat?!?!

 

In fact, you've failed to mention ANY of the huge records of those times. No 'Access' (DJ Misjah), no Age of Love, no Marmion, noWay Out West, no LiKwan....?

couldnt stand 2 untalented...

 

imho the best dance was 'trance'... i love the orchestration, the structure and sounds that trance brought. im not a dancer, more a listener so i guess trance suited me better.

If you watch footage of KLF they still sound great (yeah maybe with a hint of naffness) but listen to 2 Unlimited now and it's stomach turning! They were truly effing dire!

 

i dont get it??? why do people () go on and on and on about the klf??? not only here/online/wiki but in mags as well. with all that good press you think they be good. i listened to them and they sound $h!te.

btw i suppose if i wanted to give "Respect to the man in the ice cream van" then man would have to be called either Mr Ben Cohen or Mr Jerry Greenfield from the Unilever company :lol: :lol:
